You can take in an impressive fireworks display and the popular torchlight parade at Silver Star Mountain Resort at 8 p.m. on Dec. 31. Guests wishing to participate in the torchlight parade must pre-register by Dec. 28.
You could also head to Record City on 30 Avenue downtown Vernon for a night of live music and dancing on Friday, Dec. 30.

Meanwhile, The Kal is hosting a ‘Trash and Class’ night where everyone can get dressed up in their best ‘redneck, hillbilly or white trash outfit.’ The ‘class’ portion of the evening will involve dinner, champagne and a midnight snack included in the $20 ticket. DJ Mike Brat and Vernon native Chris Oliver (DJ Switch) will provide live music.
Roll out of bed on New Year’s Day and enjoy brunch and games at the Naked Pig BBQ and Smoke House. The restaurant is hosting a family day event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
